UPA’s September tour of Amalie Oil was a rare treat for the UPA community!

AMALIE OIL COMPANY, founded in 1903, is a global leader in the manufacturing and marketing of motor oil and industrial lubricants, shipping to 50 states and over 100 countries.  Located in the Port of Tampa on a 30-acre production site, the family owned and operated company has over 250 employees that blend and package over 3,000 products from 8-ounce plastic bottles to bulk-rail transports.

With locations in Tampa and Charleston, SC, AMALIE processes over 100 million gallons of product per year.  At their 20 acre facility in Tampa, AMALIE has 17,900,000 gallons of fuel storage and 325,000 square feet of manufacturing and warehousing space.  Tour attendees were certainly happy that we all wore comfortable shoes!

AMALIE manufactures over 450 active formulas and receives a 30,000 barrel barge of bare oils every six to ten days.  AMALIE has a total of 15 blow-molding lines, producing 8 oz, 12 oz, 16 oz, 1 quart, 1 gallon, and 5 quart HDPE containers for their 20 fully automated packaging lines.  AMALIE’S products are shipped worldwide to over 100 countries.  To say that we were impressed is definitely an understatement!  And to top it all off, since 1990 AMALIE has doubled their size and capacity every six to seven years.
